Our department cares for more than half of the patients who come to Michigan Medicine for both primary and specialty care. In 2016, we had nearly 450,000 outpatient visits and over 26,000 hospital discharges.

Our collaborative culture, state-of-the-art facilities and breadth of resources, gives our scientists the opportunity to take their leading research from bench to bedside. In 2016, our department was awarded more than $170 million dollars from federal, foundation, and industry sponsors and our faculty produced over 2,600 publications.

Ranked #6 by US News & World Report for internal medicine training, our department has high standards for education. We provide medical students, residents, and fellows a rich learning environment to build a solid foundation of excellence for careers in clinical practice and research.
